Topic: 2012/13 Match Of The Day thread

[Mal]

This programme needs a complete overhaul. New presenter (Lineker is too smug), new commentators (I can't stand J. Pearce for example), new analysts who can yer know, analyse and some proper balance.

I'm completely fed up with its pantomime portrayals and shallow, vacuous commentary. Frankly the game deserves better.

Can I watch this anywhere? Not in the UK.

i wouldnt

Last, Sandwiched in with Swansea, and fucking no analysis other than than the late foul. Stayed up for that shit. Never again. Wankering program.

[SYLENTm]

They spent more time cracking jokes with Kompany rather than actually analysing the games.

[RJH]

The commentator was fine. Only thing was the Suarez 'stamp' and to any neutral it would look bad. I wish he'd cut that out. And if flying Martinez for a meeting with John henry isn't an approach, then what is?

There was also the commentary which made it sound like Watson's injury was all Sterling's fault rather than the complete freak accident it actually was.
There was also the shite commentary for the goals. You could have been forgiven for thinking that Suarez scoring was a bad thing for Liverpool the way it was described.

[thejbs]

If he does need to cut it out, it's because it gets highlighted more because it's him

While I agree that managers and media are giving him a rough ride, he needs to cut it out for one reason - because it's an ugly, shitty thing to do. He could cause a career ending injury to another player. If you're so partisan that you can defend that then there's something wrong.

So, according to MOTD, Martinez turned down the offer to manage Liverpool, because he wanted to continue his success story at Wigan. Where do they get their info from?

Dave Whelan more than likely

Martinez himself. He said it in a presser. Even though we deny this that has to be taken as a legitimate source tbf.

[Bunter]

Suarez with the assist though.

You could then argue that if Suarez touches the ball or makes a pass in build to a goal we should not count them either. Gets a bit silly doesnt it ?

[thejbs]

It's a ridiculous stat. Like saying utd without rvp would be in the bottom half. Bollocks. Basically the same utd team finished second without him last season.

Without him this season United would have 13 points.

[Oh Caption! My Caption!]

When will English commentators realise they sound like utter knobs trying to pronounce names with a foreign accent.

Sorry but I fucking hate this. His name is pronounced Cathorla, so why should they not pronounce it correctly. Should they just butcher his name and pronounce it how they want rather than what actual name is...

[theredguy03]

Even when Suarez scores 2 goals, they show his 'dark side' for a mistimed challenge. Give me a break

Also the game being shown last was absurd.

[Smudgester]

Both yesterday's and the Distin tackles were completely innocuous and accidental.

If you want 'ugly, shitty things' you should take a closer look at the deliberate and (potentially in the Huth case) life threatening, net alone career threatening, fouls committed AGAINST Suarez

Agree with you, but people see what they want to see though

I can imagine some dude watching the analysis on Match of the Day this morning, he chucks his bowl of cereal onto the floor at the sight of the 'stamp' and curses at how evil and demonic Suarez is.

Yeah, or he throws a remote control at his wife.

Kompany was pointless as fuck.

[Agger]

Alan Hansen, how does Kompany's ass taste?

[Mashy-rawr!nooo]

Alan Hansen, how does Kompany's ass taste?

several times through out the program he looked to hold his shoulder almost tenderly and then didn't.

[Zaffarious]

i lauged out loud when harry came out with the good ol "we tried to sign the lad" in relation to cazorla. very very funny.

[RivaGe]

Hmm who's watching it tonight?

What as a punishment?

That was bad enough last night,and I had it muted.

[youll never walk alone it]

hansen the boyhood manc, well done alan.

Just record it and you can skip through everything else.

Not that there's much point because the analysis is fucking shit. Imagine combining ours and Newcastle's analysis.

Pricks

That was the only bit I listened to and what a waste of time that was.

I don't normally watch it,but I've tried to the last few week's and I've realised there's no point to doing so.

Awful shitty useless effort's at analysing game's.

At least next week our game is on the sunday so there will only be  a couple of matches to analyse.

[Pistolero]

Very poor show last night - despite having plenty of cracking games to hand.

Cant stand Lineker..with his snide little comments and sniggering boysclub...the best MOTD's recently have been those fronted by Gabby Yorath
who manages to tone down the unfunny macho bollocks in the studio...and keeps the toecurling banter to a minimum

The standard of commentating has also plummeted...Pearce is a complete and utter embarrassment...and as for the piece of cheese who covered our match - it was so obviously a stitched-on-after-the-game effort because they couldnt be arsed having an actual commentator at Anfield ...but did he have to make it so obvious?

Tonight's episode featuring the 'El Clasico' between Fulham and Sunderland with a skipful of padding from Mr Loverman is about as appealing as an 'At Home With Piers Moron' 2 hour special.

Count me out

[Red Genius]

What a load of shite the microscope MOTD put on Mark Hughes there.... Talk about media influencing decision making.

[Crosby Nick]

Is Stephen Reid blind? Who's he looking at when he's talking?

[kennedy81]

yeah I noticed that too earlier, wtf?

[sinnermichael]

bbc should never have got rid of lee dixon.

[kopitecrash]

Yet for two episodes now they've lauded him where everyone else wants him out.

[WEST HAM PAUL]

Really poor show this week. Kompany pointless.

Love or loathe him but I enjoy listening to Gary Neville & the next best thing the BBC had was Lee Dixon & they lost him. I record it just watch the action & avoid the drivel
